………………
Richie meets Hugo. Junkers is a factory office in Dessau. The factory is owned by Junkers, but oddly enough, it doesn't look like it's doing well.
Hu Ge. Junkers was a dignified-looking man, and he didn't speak immediately after hearing Richie's intentions.
The Second German Reich did not have its own air ministry, but it was hung under the War Ministry, which doomed the air force to not pay enough attention, because if the air force was given more quotas, then the army's quota would be reduced accordingly.
"Indeed, the generals would rather buy one more gun than tear out some funds and place orders for some more aircraft." Hu Ge. Junkers smiled and said, "So, Major, are you trying to change that?" ”
This is not like the attitude of the first director of the Air Department when he speaks. The Junkers are more of a way to detach themselves from the management of the Air Force. This made Richie and William, who came with him. Keitel couldn't help but frown.
"Don't look at me like that." Hu Ge. Junkers shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't actually want to be a director, but I have to do it." ”
Richie and William. Keitel was utterly surprised.
If the newly established Air Force Department is a team, then everyone is a part of this team, and they should unite and work together for the growth and development of the collective. Well, as the first director of Hugo. Junkers is the captain of this team.
What now? As the captain of the team, Hugo. Junkers did not hide it at all, and he said that although he was performing his duties, he was absolutely just an official and did not do anything, which directly made the two department directors who came all the way from Berlin directly confused.
"In fact, I have reported to the War Department and the General Staff Headquarters on more than one occasion, and I have also written personal letters to His Majesty." Hu Ge. Junkers raised his hand to stop William from saying something. Keitel, looking at Richie, asked: "I understand from some sources that you are very concerned about new products, that is, bombers?" ”
It is no secret that when Litchie was a lieutenant, he had been complaining about the scarcity of bombers in the German Air Force, especially about the fact that there were no bombers on the Western Front except for the Zeppelin, which could be used for bombing.
Richie is still digesting about Hugo. Junkers didn't care about the words of the first director, nodded when he heard the latter words, and said a little blankly: "Yes, I do think so." We should have bombers......"
"However, the bombers are slow now." Hu Ge. Junkers unceremoniously interrupted Richie's words and said, "Usually a fighter can easily destroy, and it is only a little better than the survivability of an airship." ”
It seems that this is really the case, the altitude limit of the planes is not very high, and the bombers are indeed very slow, if they do not have enough escort fighters, even if the bombers have a few machine guns for self-defense, they will usually be easily shot down by nimble fighters.
"Bombers must be available, and they must be maintained in a reasonable number." Li Qi still has a wooden face, without any mood swings: "We have checked the monthly orders, and we agree that it is an unreasonable quantity, and we should increase the order of at least 600 aircraft on the original basis, and allocate the models reasonably." ”
"We prefer to buy orders from Fokker and Junkers separately." William. Keitel finally recovered from the state of the circle, he said: "Among the new orders, the Fokker E-III will account for 350 aircraft, the Fokker D-VII will account for 50 aircraft, the Junkers J.P1 will need 100 aircraft, and the rest will be given to the 'Gothda' bomber."
The J.P1 is the world's first all-metal monoplane and open-arm aircraft developed by Junkers, the J.1 fighter. It was developed on December 12, 1915, but was not procured on a large scale because it was ...... Expensive!
"So, is this a bribe to get me to agree with your claims?" Hu Ge. Junkers meets Litchie and William. Keitel's face changed together, and he suddenly laughed and said, "So, I agreed, why don't you agree if you have money to make?" There was another burst of laughter, and for a moment, it was almost the same as Richie and William. When Keitel couldn't help it, he suddenly asked, "What's the use of me agreeing?" Will those stubborn generals agree? ”
Gotta tell the truth, with Hugo. People like Junkers don't feel pleasant to get along with at all, at least with Richie and William. Keitel only felt a burst of gas.
Richie is very strange Hugo. Junkers why would he have such an attitude with William. Keitel left Dessau, and on the way back to Berlin, both of them were in a bit of a trance.
Back in Berlin, another Hugo ...... It was Speiler who knew that the two of them were coming back and immediately came to look for him, and he saw Richie and William. Keitel looked like he was in a state of despair, and couldn't help but ask what was going on.
"What the hell!" William. Keitel didn't know whether to be angry or helpless: "Please allow me to tell you the truth, he is an irresponsible psychopath!" ”
Hu Ge. Shi Peile was stunned and turned to look at Li Qi.
"I partially agree with Captain Keitel." Richie smiled wryly and briefly explained what had happened, and then said, "Let's move on with our own plan." On the Army's side of the financial side, I can lobby those generals, and check the battle records and loss data and leave it to the two? ”
Hu Ge. Schpeyler and William. Keitel looked at each other with little confidence, and replied as if in response.
For the newly established Air Force department, there is no doubt that an unreliable first director is a very shocking thing, and Li Qi knows that Hu Ge. Schpeyler and William. Keitel has gone from being ambitious at the beginning to skeptical about the meaning of serving in the Air Force.
Before Li Qi took office, he communicated with many generals on the Western Front, obtained the approval of several army group commanders, and then received the support of Crown Prince William, just to come to the air force department to do a big job. It would have been a shot in the arm for the entire Air Force. However, since Hugo. Junkers is so ineffective, then Li Qi can't be blamed.
The next thing was a little unexpected, and before Li Qi could start putting the plan into action, Hugo. Junkers' resignation was agreed. This news directly made a group of people compiled by the Air Force department, including Hugo. Schpeyler and William. Kettel's two directors felt that their future was even more bleak.
Before they could be frustrated, the emperor's office directly issued an administrative document, informing the council that a marshal would be appointed as the head of the Air Force, and that the first director would also have a general to take over, so that Richie's plan to fight and directly become the head of the air force department was also frustrated......
